When it comes to home repairs, anything involving your home’s electrical
system should be left in the hands of a trained and experienced professional.
Attempting DIY electrical repairs or installations can be very dangerous,
but so can hiring an electrical contractor who isn’t licensed. Here
are some of the most important reasons to hire a
licensed electrician in Columbus for all your home’s electrical repair and installation needs:

Licensing requires certification by the state, which means you can be sure
that licensed electricians has trained a certain number of hours, knows
state codes and regulations, and adheres to state and national electrical
safety codes

Licensed electrical contractors are more easily held accountable in the
event that anything goes wrong with the repair or installation project,
and the state also requires electricians to carry insurance before granting licensure

Homeowner’s insurance policies require that any electrical repairs
covered by the policy are performed by licensed electricians only
